The kids have been wanting to do this all summer and the timing and weather were finally right - for camping. We decided to do a little "staycation" (love that word) and do it in the backyard. That way - the potties and snacks would be close at hand and if it started to rain ... or if someone got scared ... their own beds were just yards away.
In case you are wondering, Monte was the only adult chaperone. Wrigley and I decided someone had to guard the house (and the Rocky Road ice cream) so we took one for the team and missed out on the fun.
They had a great time. Notice the extension cord .... apparently used to supply power to the DVD player. Hmmmm... I didn't know about that. They could really hear all the cool wildlife noises that close to the water.
Right now the tent sits (still fully assembled) in our living room. That doens't bode well for tonight's sleeping arrangements does it?

How fun! Your kids are always going to remember this awesome summer.
I'm loving the cord and the camping DVDs. If I had close, clean potties, snacks, and movies I'd go camping too!
